The 2017 value of the EV Climate Credit is going to be $200, based on the value of the LCFS credits sold and the nearly 7,000 drivers who signed up this year. The EVCC will be done every year through 2020.

Drivers who signed up will start to see bill credits for the EV Climate Credit starting soon...

I received this email from SDGE today: "Great news! Your application has been accepted and you are eligible to receive a bill credit. A credit will appear on your bill within the next 2 months (depending on your bill cycle)".

So it is possible to off set the minimal charge.

The $200 is an account credit, so it never expires. I'm on NEM and I just settled up for the year. So I moved the EV credit from my SDG&E electric account to my SDG&E gas account. With that credit, I likely won't have a gas bill now until Jan or Feb 2018.

Signups for this year should begin around March 1. The amount of the EV climate credit each driver will get will be recalculated, and depends on the value of the LCFS credits sold, and how many drivers sign up for the EV climate credit for this year.
